Mortal Kombat brings the fight to the arcades – 1992
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
Who do you look up to? NATIONAL HERO DAY salutes those people in our lives who inspire, motivate and teach us. I have two – my dad and my son. Dad gave me the wisdom to handle life as well as set such a good role model for me to follow. My son inspires me to be the best person I can be since that is what he strives for himself.
Let’s give a tip of the captain’s hat to NATIONAL HARBORMASTER DAY. Without these folks keeping our harbors safe and running efficiently, we would be in a whole lot of trouble. Thank you for doing what you do.
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
WORLD DYSLEXIA DAY seeks to assist, educate, and work with the 20% of the population who suffer from this condition.
Celebrate You with…
NATIONAL FACE YOUR FEARS DAY comes at a good time of the year. It seems Hollywood tries to outdo itself when it comes to scary movies at Halloween, reminding us of some of the things that make us cringe. It is a great time to look that fear in the face, stare it down, and put it in its place.
For Fun
INTERNATIONAL OFF-ROAD DAY gives us a good reason to enjoy this beautiful Fall weather. If you like to play in the dirt, mud, sand and water – enjoy your time outside.
While we are outside – AMERICAN TOUCH TAG DAY will leave you breathless after a lot of running around. “Tag, you’re it”, was something I heard and yelled when I was a lot younger, but if anyone feels up to a game – I am more than happy to sit and watch.
On Today’s Menu…
We’ll start with the healthy food first. NATIONAL SALMON DAY has us swimming upstream for a delicious intake of heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Add a little garlic and lemon for a flavor kick.
NATIONAL PIEROGI DAY takes that boiled dumpling stuffed with savory goodness and fries it up. Anything from mashed potatoes to ground beef to fruit can fill these shells and can then be topped with onions, bacon, butter or sour cream.
Our least healthy dish puts us in a sticky situation. FLUFFERNUTTER DAY brings peanut butter and marshmallow cream together for a sweet and nutty taste like no other. This is something else you can add bacon to or come up with own creative way to enjoy this one-of-a-kind food.

1871 – While the Chicago fire grabbed all of the headlines, the deadliest wildfire in history raged in Peshtigo, Wisconsin, killing between 1,200 and 2,500 people
1918 – Corporal Alvin York finds himself in a mess when his squad is fired upon by German machine guns during WWI. York had initially tried to avoid signing up due to his religious beliefs but was denied that chance. In this battle, his commander was killed, along with 8 others, leaving York and 7 others to deal with the situation and putting York in charge. York calls for the Germans to surrender so he doesn’t have to shoot them, but they don’t. He kills 20 of them by himself and he and his meager squad capture 132 enemy soldiers. These actions earned him the Medal of Honor.
